The Society for Hellenism and Philhellenism (SHP) co-organized with the Municipality of Nikolaos Skoufas-Peta, the ceremony for the 200th anniversary of the historic battle of Peta. SHP participated with a keynote speaker, an honorary ceremony of 10 Philhellenes re-enactors, and the Dresden Philhellenic choir, which was conducted in the 19th century by the German Philhellene Elster, who participated as a volunteer in the battle of Peta. During the event, SHP honored Paul Graf von Normann-Ehrenfels, a descendant of the great German Philhellene General Normann, the leader of the Greek Regular army in the battle of Peta, with the Lord Byron Medal.
